Where to watch the big World Cup game Thursday

Cadillac Square in downtown Detroit will be the scene of a World Cup watch party Thursday, when the United States takes on Germany.

The game will be broadcast on a 9-foot by 16-foot LED wall starting at noon. Food trucks, including Qais Truck, Eskimo Jacks and Gourmet Hot Dogs LLC, will be on site.

The event is hosted by Campus Martius Park, Detroit City Football Club, Downtown Detroit Partnership, Fathead LLC and Opportunity Detroit.

Fatheads featuring the U.S. team’s crest will be available, as will photo opportunities with a 2014 life-size Fathead depicting Clint Dempsey, a forward on the U.S. team.

Want to watch indoors? Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, home to the Detroit chapter of the American Outlaws soccer fan club, recently was mentioned by Buzzfeed as the best spot in Michigan to watch the World Cup.
